Making it work

1. Extract the ZIP file tbs-linux-drivers_v[VERSION NUMBER].zip. As of 28 February 2013, the latest version is 130127. You may want to do this in an empty directory as this archive does not extract into a single root directory of its own.

unp tbs-linux-drivers_v130127.zip

2. Extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive

unp linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

3. Change to driver package directory

cd linux-tbs-drivers

4. Select platform architecture

for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x)

./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

or for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x)

./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

or for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux)

./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

You should then receive a message along these lines:

TBS drivers configured for [NAME OF PLATFORM] platform.

5. Build the driver. Recompiles v4l for a wide range of cards, currently 485, will take many minutes.

make

6. Install driver. Existing drivers for other v4l related hardware, such as lirc could also get updated.
